Yet Goffin, beaten in all six prior meetings with Federer, turned the tables to win 2-6 6-3 6-4 and become only the sixth player to beat Nadal and Federer in the same tournament. He will face fellow first-time qualifier Grigor Dimitrov in Sunday's final after the Bulgarian produced another classy display to beat American debutant Jack Sock 4-6 6-0 6-3. Goffin, the first Belgian to qualify for the season climax, could scarcely believe his victory over Federer. Federer then went wide with a forehand to give Goffin two match points and a first serve proved too good. Sock switched off in the second set but was back firing in a superb decider, wasting a break point chance in the first game.
